If only the weather here would allow!!!!

I would love to hatch some eggs..........
guess I might dig the incubator & Brooders out......But I don't think that shipping them in this weather is safe!

hey i just found out about this site and the egg swaps and i am not totally sure on the do and donts totally but i have an idea, and i have several

my roos are silkies red and black, blue and a splash andalusian, rhode island reds, and aracona, and these roos occupy several hens ,



which include , white and brown leghorns, standard game, black austrolorp, buff orpingtons, andalusians, golden lakenvelders, rhode island reds, rhode island red game cross hens, anacona game cross, austrolorp game leghorn cross, leghorn rhode island red cross, black sex links, barred rock, ..... in which total i have 60 all together


so can someone please inform me on how this works , and how to go about doing this please and thank you , i know that there are several breeds on here i am interested in and pure breed is not nessacery at all due to i like variety and from my chickens listed above you can tell lol

 

[donnie]

i hope some eggs are still availiable , can we give our emails out on here

 

[donnie]

so what all is left that isnt taken , i assume it is slim pickings , but that makes it easier since im not that picky

Sorry donnie, but I don't think anyone was awake to answer you. How this works is you look for what was last offered which currently is...

See 1lpoock wanted the partridge silkies that were offered so he posted "I'll take the Partridge silkie eggs" and offered "one dozen eggs Rooster: Red Sex-link Hens: White leghorn,red sex-link, black sex-link.......look here for pics of the breeders and babies http://sprucecreekwaterfowl.webs.com/otherpoultry.htm "

Then he PM'd Evermore Ranch, who had offered up the silkies, to make arrangements for shipping which the recipient is supposed to pay for.

So, you wait for something you like to be offered and do the same thing!

The reason for the chain is so you can accept eggs and they get shipped to you for free, in return you have to post an offer yourself and when someone accepts that, you pay the shipping to get the eggs to them...its a continuous chain.

everything is right except the shipping... the sender pays shipping.... because they received eggs free, no shipping....

this train is for mixed breed chickens.. you wont find many purebreds, but it does happen...

there's a crazy egg train for pure common breeds, and a rare and fancy for... well, rar and fance.. lol.....

it's a fun and easy way to get some more variety into your flock... unless like me you have gorillas at your post office...
out of 4 sets of shipped eggs.. a total of 40ish eggs, i'm finally getting one to hatch. maybe.. lol.. it should hatch christmas day
